Archives in the News -- Ohio University



Flipping channels on TV on Thursday night, I caught a segment
of Fox-TV's "Scariest Places on Earth" which featured Ohio
University at Athens.   Narrators claimed there are five cemeteries
outside of Athens that when connected on a map form a pentagram
with Ohio University at the center.

The segment featured several on-camera comments by Doug
McCabe, Curator of Manuscripts in Archives and Special Collections
at Ohio University, Athens -- and showing him opening the file cabinet
to show off the "Spook" file.   It appears they have a vertical file with
hanging folders with information on some of the most common topics
requested about the area -- a very good idea for most college campuses
where a continuously-rotating student/faculty body ask questions
about campus monuments, building names, and the like.
